2. Very Short Answer (VSA).

Q1. Define molality.

Answer: Molality (m) is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg (1000 g) of solvent.

Q2. What does van’t Hoff factor indicate?

Answer: Van’t Hoff factor (i) indicates the extent of association or dissociation of solute molecules in a solution.

Q3. Name any one colligative property.

Answer: Depression of freezing point is a colligative property.

Q4. What is the mole fraction of water in a solution containing 10 moles of water and 1 mole of NaCl?

Answer: The mole fraction of water is $10/(10+1) = 10/11$.

Q5. Write the mathematical expression for Raoult’s Law.

Answer: $P_1 = X_1 P_1^0$, where $P_1$ is the vapour pressure, $X_1$ is the mole fraction, $P_1^0$ is vapour pressure of pure solvent.

3. Short Answer Questions.

Q1. A solution contains 5 g of urea $(\mathrm{NH_2CONH_2})$ in 100 g of water. Calculate the lowering of vapour pressure if vapour pressure of pure water at 298 K is 23.8 mm Hg. (Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mol)

Answer:

1. Moles of urea = $5/60 = 0.083$ mol.
2. Moles of water = $100/18 = 5.56$ mol.
3. Mole fraction of urea = $0.083/(0.083+5.56) = 0.0147$.
4. Relative lowering = mole fraction of solute = $0.0147$.
5. Lowering = $23.8 \times 0.0147 = 0.349$ mm Hg.

Q2. Explain why a non-volatile solute lowers the vapour pressure of a solvent.

Answer: A non-volatile solute reduces the number of solvent molecules at the liquid surface, decreasing the rate of evaporation and thus lowering the vapour pressure. This effect is proportional to the solute's mole fraction, as stated by Raoult’s Law.

Q3. What is abnormal molecular mass? How does van’t Hoff factor correct it?

Answer: Abnormal molecular mass arises when solute molecules associate or dissociate in solution, leading to incorrect molar mass calculation via colligative properties. The van’t Hoff factor (i) adjusts the observed values to correct the calculated molar mass.

Q4. How can you determine the molar mass of a solute from elevation of boiling point?

Answer: Molar mass can be calculated using: $\Delta T_b = K_b \cdot m$, where $m$ is molality. Knowing $\Delta T_b$ (boiling point elevation), $K_b$ (ebullioscopic constant), solvent mass, and solute mass, we rearrange to find the solute's molar mass.

Q5. State the difference between ideal and non-ideal solutions with one example each.

Answer: Ideal solutions obey Raoult's Law at all concentrations (e.g., benzene and toluene) with zero enthalpy and volume changes on mixing. Non-ideal solutions deviate from Raoult’s Law (e.g., acetone and chloroform) and exhibit enthalpy or volume change.

4. True or False Questions.

Answer: True

Q2. Depression of freezing point does not depend on the nature of solute.
